Bit more happening this dull overcast chilly morning with 346 Cormorants heading out in three squadrons in the half light followed by sea-watching for not to long producing south bound 35 Shelduck, 15 Dunlin, 12 Brent, 10 Mallard, Red-throated Diver, Red-necked Grebe, Red-breasted Merganser, Ringed Plover plus north bound 28 Teal, 9 Pintail, 6 Brent, 3 Shelduck & Oyk. 6 Fieldfare on site cleared off inland with a seventh individual arriving shortly afterwards. A new large adult male Blackbird trapped with a wing length of 143 mm is obviously not Suffolk born 'n bred also suggesting some "turdus types" on the move.

Ringing: 1 Blackbird
